Resistivity in the Vicinity of a Van Hove Singularity: Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ Under Uniaxial Pressure

Abstract

We report the results of a combined study of the normal state resistivity and superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ of the unconventional superconductor Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ under uniaxial pressure. There is strong evidence that as well as driving $T_c$ through a maximum at $\sim$3.5 K, compressive strains $\epsilon$ of nearly 1 % along the crystallographic [100] axis drive the $\gamma$ Fermi surface sheet through a Van Hove singularity, changing the temperature dependence of the resistivity from $T^2$ above and below the transition region to $T^{1.5}$ within it. This occurs in extremely pure single crystals in which the impurity contribution to the resistivity is $<$100 n$\Omega$cm, so our study also highlights the potential of uniaxial pressure as a more general probe of this class of physics in clean systems.
